Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB91/02180 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 4, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 4, 1992 PCT Filed Dec. 9, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/10532 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 25, 1992.Surfaces of polymers, particularly polyesters, can be fluorinated by deposition of a fluorocarbon from solution. The fluorocarbon may be an amorphous fluoropolymer, such as the copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and bis-2,2-trifluoromethyl-4,5-difluoro-1,2-dioxole sold under the trademark TEFLON AF TM , which is soluble in fluorinated alkanes and other fluorinated liquids such as those sold under the trademark FLUORINERT TM . Surface-fluorinated polyesters, particularly in knitted fabric form, are useful as vascular grafts: the fluorinated surface reduces thrombogenicity and complement activation. The disadvantages of known surface fluorination methods, such as the cold plasma or glow discharge process, are avoided.

Abstract: In a codebook excited speech coder, speech is analysed (200) to produce coefficients of a synthesis filter and (203, 204) the parameters of a long-term prediction filter (LTP) and a codeword indication one of a set of excitations (stored in 205), the results being transmitted to a receiver where they can be used to resynthesise the speech. The LTP and excitation analysis involve computation (224) of impulse response products (stored in 301, 302). Computation of new products is performed by adding additional terms to products already formed. Multiplication of these products by excitation terms is performed using a pointer table (303) storing precalculated addresses of locations in the store (301, 302). If some excitations are shifted versions of others, some addressed can be obtained by modifying other addresses. The LTP analysis (203) may include selection between a simple delay prediction and a prediction consisting of the sum of two differently delayed terms, to provide improved predictor delay resolution.

Abstract: A machine translation system includes an automatic routing system for automatically translating input text of a source language and sending output text of a selected target language to an addressee, in response to designations of the addressee, the target language, and/or the selected sublanguage scanned from a cover page for the input text. The system can interface with a number of input sources, such as a fax machine combined with a page scanner, a fax/modem board, or a network interface coupled to a server computer system. The server computer system can control the operation of the machine translation module for multiple target languages and/or sublanguages as designated by the cover page. A page formatting module is used to compose the translated text into a desired page format, and to provide footnotes for alternate translations of ambiguous phrases of the input text. The cover page can also designate a plurality of addressees in different target languages. The output end of the system may be a fax/modem board for sending output text to an addressee's fax number, a network interface, or a page printer for printed copy. The machine translation module(s) of the system may be upgraded or replaced without disruption to the overall telecommunications routing functions of the system.

Filed: 1992-05-07
Abstract: Cabine de pulvérisation de peinture (100) dans laquelle un écoulement d'air suit des trajectoires parallèles à une trajectoire de parcours dans un tunnel situé dans la cabine (100) dans laquelle se trouvent les objets devant être peints, l'écartement d'air étant dirigé vers l'intérieur depuis les deux extrémités d'entrée (303) et de sortie (305) du tunnel. Une conduite d'évacuation (118) de l'air qui s'écoule longitudinalement et qui est dirigé vers l'intérieur est placée entre les extrémités d'entrée (303) et de sortie (305), cette dernière comprenant une fente d'évacuation qui entoure au moins une partie d'une zone d'application de la peinture pulvérisée située dans le tunnel, afin d'évacuer l'air d'évacuation chargé de particules de peinture excédentaire. En maintenant l'écoulement de l'air d'évacuation le long de la trajectoire de parcours des objets peints on augmente l'efficacité du transfert de peinture et on minimise la contamination de la peinture récupérée par l'air d'évacuation. Cette invention est tout particulièrement utile dans des applications de cabine dans lesquelles on pulvérise un matériau pulvérulent et elle est conçue pour être modulable ce qui permet d'être adaptée sur des cabines de pulvérisation existantes, l'appareil étant dans ce cas conçu suivant les caractéristiques de cette invention.

Abstract: Dans une machine de cartonnage, des articles sont disposés en groupes dans des plateaux (8) qui passent le long d'un poste d'alimentation vers un poste de chargement (10) et à travers de celui-ci. Dans ce poste, les articles disposés sur les plateaux successifs sont transversalement poussés dans des éléments en carton respectifs transportés selon un espacement réciproque spécifique (P). L'espacement réciproque des plateaux (8) doit par conséquent être agencé de façon correspondante. Généralement, ceci implique que les plateaux soient espacés de façon correspondante dans le poste d'alimentation également. Selon l'invention, les plateaux peuvent être plus aisément remplis s'ils sont étroitement juxtaposés, et ceci peut être effectué par l'intermédiaire d'un système transporteur de plateaux agencé de façon à fonctionner à un pas et à une vitesse de plateau réduits dans le poste d'alimentation.

Abstract: On décrit des commutateurs MTA à large bande commutant des données MTA mises en paquets dans des tranches de temps. Dans un mode de réalisation, le commutateur comprend des éléments de tampons d'entrée, un commutateur spatial se connectant aux ports d'entrées et aux ports de sortie à des tranches de temps successives, et un programmateur de système. Le traitement de l'utilisation de tranches de temps est réalisé à l'aide d'une mémoire associative. Un mode point permet de faire correspondre l'utilisation de tranches de temps par les ports d'entrée et les ports de sortie. Un codeur détermine la tranche de temps généralement la plus rapidement disponible pour connecter des ports d'entrée et leurs ports de sortie demandés. On décrit également une architecture dans laquelle des groupes de ports d'entrée partagent des mémoires tampon communes et dans laquelle le programmateur du système traite des entrées groupées, ce qui permet de profiter des caractéristiques analogues de cette architecture et des avantages qu'elle présente par rapport au commutateur à mémoire commune.

Abstract: The endoscope optical system has an objective with a negative lens cluster on the objective side, the aim being to minimise or exclude image scale errors, such as distortion and image field curvature, by the construction of said cluster. The negative lens cluster on the objective side consists of two meniscuses (1, 2) each having a negative refractive power. Owing to the meniscus-shaped construction, the individual errors of the distortion which occur at the faces are reduced, and owing to the subdivision of the lens cluster into two meniscuses, a levelled image field, i.e. a prevention of the field curvature, is achieved. The objective-side meniscus can be constructed as an einzel (single) lens (20) or as a cemented component assembled from an outer lens (1) and an inner lens (2). Since the distortion error at the cemented surface has a negative sign, the errors are consequently partially compensated on the meniscus outer faces. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An endoscope having at the tip of its inserting section a detecting device (22) for detecting physical or chemical changes allows transmission of signals from the detecting device (22) without requiring a dedicated signal line for this detecting device. For example, an electronic endoscope apparatus (1) of the type which has an inserting section extending from an operating section, includes: a detecting device (22) for detecting physical and chemical changes, such as a humidity sensor or a gas sensor, provided at a tip of the inserting section; a notifying device for notifying of the detection results of the detecting device (22) by, for example, displaying them through a monitor; an image-sensing device (17), such as a CCD, provided at the tip of the inserting section; and a signal line (18, 23) consisting, for example, of a coaxial cable, connected to the image-sensing device (17); wherein signals from the detecting device (22) are transmitted through a transmission line (23h), e.g., an armoring line, which is among the transmission lines provided in the signal line (18, 23) and which is not being used in the transmission of signals from the image-sensing device (17). With this construction, an increase in the diameter of the endoscope inserting section can be avoided in spite of the provision of the detecting device (22).

Abstract: A control system and method permit simultaneous automatic and manual control of a device (e.g. a valve or valve actuator) for changing a parameter of a system, such as the fluid level in a tub of fracturing fluid used to fracture an oil or gas well. Rather than providing a control signal representing an integration of the parameter, the present invention provides a control signal (28) representing only an error or change so that integration occurs mechanically in the device for changing the parameter. This allows the mechanical integration to be manually overridden without disrupting the automatic control which is concerned only with the resultant error or change and not the total integration.
